FAQ
Getting Oracle Certified
How do I become Oracle certified?
In order to become Oracle Certified, you will need to complete any training requirements, pass the required exam(s),
and complete the Course Submission Form. You can find more information on becoming Oracle Certified on
the Getting Started page of the Oracle Certification Site.
How long are my exam results valid? For instance, if I took the 1Z0-007 exam in 2002, is it still valid to use
toward my 10g DBA OCA certification?
Exam results remain valid. They do not expire. If you took an exam at any time, it will remain valid to use in any
certification path in which it is valid.
Getting Ready for Testing
What do I need to bring for my exam appointment?
You must be prepared to show at least two forms of identification. One must be a government-issued photo
identification. Both forms of identification must contain your signature.
Arrive at the testing center at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. If you arrive more than
15 minutes late, the testing center personnel may choose not to seat you if doing so disrupts the other
examinees in the testing room.
You are not permitted to bring papers, books, bags, computers, personal organizers, or calculators into the
testing room. The testing center personnel will provide you with an erasable notepad for use while testing. All
notepads are collected by testing center personnel at the end of the exam.
Prior to taking the exam, you will be required to accept the terms and conditions of the Oracle Certification
Program Candidate Agreement. You will be presented with the agreement on screen before the test starts.
You can also view this agreement prior to arriving at the testing center via the following link Oracle
Certification Candidate Agreement. If you choose not to accept the agreement, your exam will be cancelled
and you will forfeit your exam fee.
Candidate Guides: The Candidate Guides provide helpful preparation information, including exam topics.
Practice Exams: There are practice exams available online for most certification exams.
Training Materials: Candidates should also review any training materials received in the hands on course.
Self-Study CD-ROMs are also an excellent tool to help you prepare for your exam. SSCDs reinforce the
course material and allow you to focus on sections that you need to review. Note: the SSCDs do not count
towards your course requirements for certification and should be used as a study aid only.

Taking Beta Exams
What is the difference between a Beta exam and a production exam?
Beta exams are used by Oracle to test new exam questions with the participation of a live audience. Data gathered
during beta testing are used to select the best questions for the production exam, and to eliminate questions that are
ambiguous, too easy or too difficult, or are unhelpful in evaluating participants' knowledge level. Beta exams are
offered at a discounted price; and candidates usually have either 3 or 3.5 hours to complete the exam, and may see
175 - 220 questions. For more details on how beta exams differ from the production version, visit the Oracle
Certification Beta Exam Information web page.
How do I register for a Beta exam?
You register for a beta exam the same way you register for a production exam. Beta exams generally have the same
suffix as their corresponding production exams with a prefix of 1Z1 rather than 1Z0. View the options for exam
registration for certification exams
Can I get sample exam questions for Beta exams?
No, There are no sample questions for exams in beta version. For exams in production version you may download
sample questions for through Self Test Software. Visit our Practice Test web page which includes information about
Self Test Software.
Can I apply a discount voucher to a Beta exam?
Partner discounts and Oracle employee discounts apply to the Beta Exams. Candidates will provide discount
vouchers as they would for production exams.
When will I receive the results of my Beta exams?
You should receive your Beta Exam results about 10 weeks after the beta period closes.

In short, it looks great on your CV and gives you a great advantage over other candidates applying for a new role, or
in salary negotiations in your existing role.
To illustrate the benefits of becoming certified a recent salary report of certified professionals by Certification
Magazine found that Oracle Certified Professionals were found to earn the highest average salaries as compared to
any other DBA or Developer professionals. The survey involved members of the top certification programs in the IT
industry. Net gains due to obtaining a certification were also researched, and both Oracle and Compaq Certified
Professionals were, again, at the top of the list for increased salary due to certification.
Most certified professionals have found that their financial investment in training and certification is paid off by gains in
salary, job opportunities, or expanded roles over a short nine month period. It is unlikely that you will find a better
opportunity to grow your career and the value you bring to the job.
Some numbers
We conducted our own salary survey among certified professionals and here are some of the responses we received:
Increased CREDIBILITY: In our survey 91% of certified professionals say that becoming has enhanced their
professional credibility.

qualified to manage more complex issues and projects because they are certified.

professionals has improved their job productivity.

Becoming certified in most fields takes time and effort and usually involves taking, sometimes costly training. So, how
do you convince your boss to give you time out from your busy job to go through a certification program and, ideally,
pick up the bill for the training?
We have set out some clear benefits to employers that you can present to your management:
Benefits to employers
A professional certification program is valuable to hiring managers who want to distinguish among candidates for
critical positions.
For companies that send employees through annual training, certification ensures a return on the training investment
by validating the knowledge and understanding gained in training sessions. Companies can also combine certification
with an employee development program to enhance employee loyalty and performance on the job.
Hiring certified professionals has a direct impact on a company's bottom line, as these conclusions from a research
study by International Data Corporation** suggest:
Certified professionals handled 40% more support calls per person, per day, than uncertified staff.
Companies that advocated certification reported 49% less downtime than those that did not.
For the majority of companies surveyed, the savings from increased effectiveness paid the costs of
certification in fewer than nine months.
